Clé de Peau Beaute Brightening Enhancer Veil SPF38 PA+++

Where I got it

After falling in love with their best-seller Correcting Cream Veil I bought while I was in Japan last year, I have decided to repurchase it when I am in Japan again at the end of 2024. When I bought the Correcting Cream Veil in Japan in April, it was only 7000 yen, which was only around NZD$79. The price of the Correcting Cream Veil and this Brightening Enhancer Veil was the same at 7700 yen (Dec 2024), which is around NZD$87.

What I got

This is the Clé de Peau Beaute Brightening Enhancer Veil SPF38 PA+++ (30ml). A brightening primer infused with skincare. Creates an instant base of light. Blurs the visibility of dark spots and uneven skin tone. With continued use, also improves clarity and luminosity over time. Now featuring 4MSK1 and Black Tea Extract2 to target dullness. Improve overall brightness and evenness. It also contains the unique ingredient Textol, which maintains a moisture-rich, comfortable texture.

The dewy, serum-like texture helps the skin to feel soft and smooth. Balanced: neither oily nor powdery. And helps to enhance the adherence and finish of the foundation to follow.

How I find it

After being very impressed with the Correcting Veil, I am very hopeful of trying a similar product but with slightly more brightening benefits. I love the bottle design of this primer, the gold details and the pearl white bottle is very chic.

There is a shaker ball inside the bottle so you need to shake well before using. This has SPF38, which sounds enough but I do not apply as much primer to my face as I should for an SPF so I would put on a separate SPF if I will be outside at all.

The consistency is quite fluid, like a lotion and spreads so easily on the skin. It leaves a beautiful light layer of brightness on the skin without looking cakey or paste-y. It sinks down into the skin without feeling heavy or greasy, also leaving no visible matte-finish or dewy finish.

Overall

Even though this brightening veil does not look like a layer of white cast on the skin, it does give your skin a visible tone-up or brightness. It is even without looking patchy. The natural finish makes this versatile, being able to be used on its own, or under makeup whether you want to achieve a mattified look or a dewy finish. The lightweight texture of this primer makes application a breeze without the need to rub the product in. I love this as much as the correcting veil and I would definitely use more of this when I want that extra brightness under my makeup. If I were to use just a primer on its own, I would go for the Correcting Veil because it just perfects the skin without adding brightness or tone-up effect – therefore very versatile.
